MCP vs CLI for AI Agents: A Comparative Analysis of Tool Integration Strategies for Autonomous Systems
Arun Malik, Nitish Talasu, Bradley Klemick +5
AI agents require interfaces to interact with external systems such as files, APIs, databases, and cloud services. Two competing paradigms have emerged: CLI (Command Line Interface…
From Reactive to Autonomous: Evolution of AI Operations in Cloud Network Infrastructure
Arun Malik
The operational model for cloud network infrastructure has undergone a fundamental transformation over the past decade. What began as manual, human-driven troubleshooting has evolv…
Progressive Crystallization: Turning Agent Exploration into Deterministic, Lower-Cost Workflows in Production
Arun Malik
AI agents deployed for IT operations are typically permanent cost centers because every execution requires full LLM inference, even for previously solved problems. This paper intro…
Decentralized Granular Access Control for Agentic AI Systems in Critical Infrastructure
Arun Malik, Deepal Jayasinghe, Bradley Klemick +3
The deployment of autonomous AI agents in production infrastructure introduces fundamental security challenges that traditional role-based access control (RBAC) models cannot addre…
Autonomous Incident Resolution at Hyperscale: An Agentic AI Architecture for Network Operations
Arun Malik
Cloud network infrastructure at hyperscale presents unique operational challenges where traditional human-driven incident response cannot keep pace with the volume, velocity, and c…
